Enough of that nonsense!

Sheesh, whine much?

In an effort to put that particular unpleasant post behind us ALL (who wants to hear about someone else’s money woes?  NO ONE), let me share with you some pictures of rain.

Yep, it actually does rain now and then here in Reno, Nevada.  Not too often, which is why we take pictures when it does.

Still, it was really cool.  Gives me an idea of what they mean when they refer to flash floods because we got all this water in a short amount of time and now?  The sun is out.  Pavement is nearly dry.  CRAZY.  Anyhow.  On with your regularly scheduled programming…

Mud Drops
My backyard as one, big, rain drop-y mud puddle.

Downpour
Splish splash!  The back step.

Somehow, we survived to blog about it. Doesn’t get more exciting about this around here, that’s for sure.

Out of Ideas (and money)

by Marilyn on July 14, 2008

The only thing I can think of today is how I don’t have enough money for anything I want right now. (whine whine whine)  No one really wants to hear about that.  Seriously.  No one.

Anything else I would have to talk about is BlogHer, but it would (again) cycle back to “No moneeeey!! WAHH!”

BAH and POOP on that.

(Just in case SOMEONE is interested, let me elaborate somewhat.)

  • My meals are pretty much taken care of, but what about Kile?  He joked yesterday about crashing the conference, walking in on lunch, attending sessions, etc.  Seriously though, what will he eat?  We’re thinking on packing some simple foods to pack with us.  We’ll have to have a cooler anyhow to transport milk for Liam to drink so it probably wouldn’t take much more to bring him some simple food.  BUT STILL.  I fret.  And worry.
  • This leads to wondering if the childcare provided at BlogHer includes food for the kiddos.  Would be great if it did, and on the other hand, am nervous for the poor souls who try to feed Liam.  SO PICKY.
  • I’m still fretting about the whole jeans/shoes issue.  I know sneakers are an obvious choice.  My sneakers are about four years old, though, and look it.  Besides sneakers, I own flip flops.  With the length on my jeans (particularly the ones I plan to wear Saturday), I really can’t get away with wearing flip flops with them.  Well, I do have my “Ugg-style” boots, but NO.  Will not take those to BlogHer.  I’m pretty much a “fashion don’t” but I have to draw the line somewhere.  I have been perusing payless.com and fondling the shoes through the screen, but that’s not helping anything.  FRUSTRATION.
  • Let’s talk about gas prices.  No, wait.  On second thought, we better not.  I’d just get pissed off.

Yeah.  That’s what I thought.  No one wants to hear about that.

In lieu of that conversation, I have pretty much nothing else to say.  I’ve been obsessively following Twitter all morning long, reading lots of BlogHer themed posts and feeling, ever so slightly, as if my head is about to spin off my shoulders and go flying across the floor.  Anticipation does that to me.
